For more than two decades, Beverly Fishman has explored the relationship between the body and medicine by mixing optical patterns and vibrant colors with representational elements taken from pharmaceutical and scientific imaging systems in her largely abstract work. Her work ranges from the microscopic to the macroscopic as she magnifies the minute details shown in images of disease cultures and enlarges them to cosmic proportions, or conversely references seductive mood-altering pharmaceuticals using blown glass. In doing so, Fishman offers questions about the vulnerability of self and identity in a world largely driven and mediated by advances in science and technology.
